Patient Empathy

 I am an avid activist; I pride myself in sticking up for the vulnerable. The skills I have learned organizing, rallying, and leading meetings for social issues that affect our region have translated in my drive to help every single one of my patients receive the care they deserve. You need a lot of empathy to prosper in a field where customer service can make or break someone's outlook on coming to our pharmacy. I go out of my way to make sure every single patient that walks through those doors feels like they are my number 1 priority, because they are. I have a lot of experience in de-escalating fires that will inevitably arise and tailoring my communication for each individual situation. Being a fluent spanish speaker helps a lot with language barriers.  I will always help translate to ensure our spanish-speaking patients are properly understood.
